Book excerpt: This scholarly edition of The Welsh Life of St David presents the medieval text of the Life of one of the early Christian missionaries of west Wales. More than one recension of the Latin Life written by Rhigyfarch was produced between the end of the eleventh century and the emergence of the abridged version in Welsh written by an unknown author at the start of the fourteenth century. The present annotated text of the Welsh Life is based on that found in the Book of the Anchorite of Llanddewibrefi (c.1350), and contains a detailed comparison with the earlier Latin version. The comprehensive introduction by D. Simon Evans considers early references to David alongside valid information relating to the Saint in the sixth century, in order clearly to identify the historical David and to outline his significance in an early period of Welsh history. The Welsh Life of St David was first published by the University of Wales Press in 1988 --

Download or read book Lives of the Welsh Saints written by Gilbert Hunter Doble and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Age of the Saints between the fifth and seventh centuries, early Christian leaders in Wales assimilated the currents of existing faith and indigenous Celtic devotion into the intellectual traditions of the greater European church. The humanist teaching of such figures as papa Dubricius (Dyfrig) in Erging, and of his successor Iltut (Illtud) in Llantwit Major, were followed by the sixth-century saints who turned increasingly to an ascetic monasticism influenced by ideas originating in the eastern Mediterranean. Although the idea of a Celtic Church encompassing the Celtic nations has now been superseded in our understanding of the period, the lives of the saints are squarely set against the backdrop of the lands of their mission. The lives represent medieval Latin scripts in eulogy to the religious leaders of earlier centuries, though rarely achieving great literary invention around only kernels of truth that relate to the individual saints, and should correctly be viewed as embodying a literary form in their own right. This is a newly available edition of G. H Doble s Lives of the Welsh Saints, which was edited by Professor D. Simon Evans in 1984. This volume contains his work on five Welsh Saints Dubricius, Iltut, Paulinus, Teilo and Oudoceus. "

Book excerpt: MARCH 1ST is St David's Day, the national day of Wales and has been celebrated as such since the twelfth century. So who was St David (or Dewi Sant in Welsh)? Much of what we know about St David comes from a biography written around 1090 by Rhygyfarch, a clerk of St David's. Born on a cliff top near Capel Non (Non's chapel) on the South-West Wales coast during a fierce storm, both his parents were descended from Welsh royalty. An ascetic who ate only bread, herbs and vegetables and who drank only water, David became known as Aquaticus or Dewi Ddyfrwr (the water drinker) in Welsh. As a missionary David travelled throughout Wales and Britain and even made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where he was consecrated bishop. He founded many monasteries, including one at St David's, which he made his episcopal seat. He was named Archbishop of Wales at the Synod of Brevi (Llandewi Brefi) in 550. St David died in Menevia on 1 March 589 AD, believed to be over 100 years old. This new book traces the background and heritage of this Apostle of Wales, still relevant for the new evangelisation today.
